Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures by Adam Zmith
3.0
It's an interesting topic to cover, and as a gay man who's never really gotten into Poppers, I was curious to find out more about them and their history.
The parts of the book which does this are interesting and informative, but the rest of the book is quite rambling and goes off in too many directions, from random stories from Zmith's life, to discussing Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
I can see why he brings these up, as they do have *some* connection to the points he's trying to make, but it just feels like it's going way beyond the original premise/scope of the book, and makes me think "I wish he'd get back to you know, poppers".
Overall a decent history of Poppers but with too much sidetracking and too many tangents.
The audiobook was narrated by Zmith and he done a great job there.
